Default Are you a nursing mom?

Hi Spryng,

Welcome back to Atkins and congratulations on your new baby.

Are you breastfeeding Tanner? If so, you should be eating at 'maintenance level' carbs. You don't want ketones in your breastmilk potentially affecting the health of your precious baby. Also you will need the extra calories and nutrients to keep that milk flowing

And do add some veggies to your diet regardless of whether you are nursing or bottlefeeding. Aside from the fiber they will provide vitamins and minerals to help boost your energy levels, and will also set a great example to your two older children.
